I for one want to get back on topic and hear from my good friend Monny and what he's getting upto during lockdown.

Last i heard, he was trying to use his time to help those less fortunate, and was trying to find a way to get to Scotland. <ok>
 
The officers weren’t though were they?


Nelson’s flagship is still in Portsmouth harbour. What part of Ireland is that?
Funny you should mention that,the natural forests in Ireland we're stripped bare to to build the ships for the Napoleonic war, just saying.
 
the british bombed germany at night because they couldnt breach the airspace in daylight, bombed wherever they saw light, ie civilian cities, they also bombed trains transporting jews to concentration camps, killed more jews than the nazis by all accounts

Bombed Jews going to concentration camps that you say were actually holiday camps with swimming pools and all time great fun.

Hmmm. I'm beginning to think the Earth isn't flat after all.

Ahem!

OF the fifty-six members of the Continental Congress of 1776 who signed the Declaration of Independence, James Wilson of Pennsylvania and John Witherspoon of New Jersey were natives of Scotland. William Hooper of North Carolina, George Ross of Delaware, Thomas Nelson, Jr., of Virginia, and Philip Livingston of New York were of Scottish descent. Matthew Thornton of New Hampshire and James Smith and George Taylor of Pennsylvania were natives of Ulster; and Thomas McKean of Pennsylvania and Edward Rutledge of South Carolina were of Ulster-Scottish descent. John Hart of Hunterdon County, N. J., and Abraham Clark of Elizabeth, N. J., both from their names and the fact that both were from centers of Scottish settlement, were doubtless of Scots descent. Robert R. Livingston of New York and John Houston of Georgia, both of Scots descent, were active members of the Congress, but were absent on duty when the engrossed copy was signed (August 2, 1772) and their names do not appear.
2 out of 56 then.
